Ultra Music Festival has sent an email with information to all ticket purchasers regarding their options after last week’s cancellation.
After the official announcement was made that Ultra Music Festival would be postponed, one of the questions on the minds of those who were planning to make their way to Miami was if they would be receiving a refund. Tonight, that’s been answered by way of an email sent out to ticket purchasers and refunds are not being offered.
This news may come as little surprise to those who read the terms and conditions on Ultra Music Festival’s website and were quick to notice that the organizers had covered themselves with a clearly defined Refund Policy. “Upon Event cancellation by Event Organizer, Event Organizer may, in its sole and absolute discretion, elect to either issue a full or partial refund to Purchaser, not issue any refunds, or reschedule the Event.”
This, like all the other terms and conditions listed, were agreed to the moment that a ticket was purchased. In fact, the refund policy lays out a number of options ranging from potential full or partial refunds to event postponements, but the last option seems to be the one they’ve moved forward with to “make good” by offering an “added benefits package.”
In the email, ticket buyers were informed that their passes for the 2020 edition would be valid for 2021 or 2022, with a 30-day window (April 9, 2020) to choose between the two.
Additionally, Ultra’s organizers put together an added value package exclusively for those who bought tickets to the 2020 edition.
These range from free tickets to other Ultra or Resistance branded events, exclusive access to future editions, and more. You MUST respond to the original email by April 9, 2020 to be eligible for the benefits. Read on for the full list that was in the email:
